Abstract: METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR STACKING AND BLENDING            BRICKS OR THE LIKE     ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE            A stacker blender for bricks is disclosed in which a plurality of pallets move progressively down an inclined conveyor and are progressively positioned in a series of course receiving positions.  The angle of inclination of the conveyor is arranged so that, after indexing, the uppermost course of a stack on each pallet is positioned at a predetermined horizontally aligned level to receive a subsequent course. A gripper transfer simultaneously grips a plurality of courses from a supply conveyor and transfers a course to each stack at each stacking location.  Because each partial stack has one more course than the preceding partial stack the courses transferred during a given transfer operation appear at different levels in the different stacks.  This assures complete blending.          A void course is transferred at a predetermined location during each cycle so a simplified void course forming system is utilized.  With a stacker blender a completed stack is produced during each machine cycle and is subsequently transferred by a shuttle transfer and a roller conveyor system to a strapper.          Stabilizing means are  provided to grip the partially formed stacks as they are formed and as they are indexed along the incline conveyor from one position to the next.  A damping or shock absorbing system is provided for the transfer which allows the use of a simple automotive type shock absorber to provide a damping gradient which insures a smooth deceleration of the transfer as it approaches the end positions of its travel.

Abstract: ABSTRACT     An upgrader variable pressure regulator for internal combustion engines and the like, comprising a vacuum chamber and an associated fuel chamber joined together to support an enlarged vacuum diaphragm on one side, and to encase and support a reduced fuel chamber diaphragm on the other side.  Adjustments are provided in both the vacuum and fuel chambers to limit the travel of both diaphragm assemblies in respective linear directions toward and away from the vacuum or fuel chambers respectively.  An adjustable spring in the vacuum chamber urges both diaphragms toward the fuel chamber.          A fuel chamber needle diaphragm responds to pressures derived from both diaphragms and opens to admit greater quantities of fuel to the fuel chamber.  A second spring in the fuel chamber urges the valve against a needle seat closing the flow of fuel to the fuel chamber when both diaphragms and associated clamp screws travel away from it.  The changes in vacuum applied through a vacuum line attached to the inner manifold of the engine urges the larger diaphragm against its associated diaphragm spring to close the needle valve, when the vacuum is great,  When engine vacuum drops, the large diaphragm spring overcomes the vacuum pressure to urge said diaphragm and an associated clamp screw toward the needle valve, opening it to increase the fuel entering the fuel chamber.  In an alternative embodiment, a single diaphragm is utilized between the fuel and vacuum chambers.

Abstract: Abstract of the Disclosure A plastic heel is attached by inserting through an insole of a shoe a fastener and vibrating the fastener at ultrasonic frequency to cause its shank to melt the plastic and become embedded in the heel. The fastener may be a staple with wide legs having holes therein. The shank of the shoe may be bridged by the staple for added attachment strength. Since less work penetration is needed than in nail-attaching of heels, advantage is gained especially in securing sharply tapering or so-called "stiletto" heels.

Abstract: ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE         An endless-conveyor monitoring switch assembly includes an elongated frame having a shaft journaled for rotation therein and extending longitudinally therealong.          A drive wheel is attached to and rotatable with the shaft at a first end of the elongated frame and a detecting switch is attached to the shaft at the opposite end of the elongated frame.  A seesaw, U-shaped, mounting member is attached to the elongated frame at a point intermediate the drive wheel and the detecting switch for mounting the elongated frame on an endless-conveyor cable support.  The mounting member allows the weight of the elongated frame and its attachments to pivot the frame in a seesaw manner to bring the drive wheel into contact with the endless conveyor.  The detecting switch includes a conductive disc mounted on the shaft adjacent to a pendulum having permanent magnets and mercury switches mounted thereon.  When the shaft rotates the disc above a predetermined speed, the permanent magnets on the pendulum cooperate with eddy currents in the disc to pivot the pendulum and thereby actuate the mercury switches.

Abstract: ABSTRACT A method is described for transporting a natural gas in the form of a hydrate.  The method utilizes the pressure and temperature conditions of a submerged vessel to facilitate the formation and maintenance of natural gas as a hydrate during the subsea voyage and the subsequent reconversion of the hydrate to a natural gas when the destination of the vessel is reach-ed.  The submarine vessel can have:  supplementary refrigeration, a hold or void in which a natural gas is hydrated, and a membrane pervious to gas and water within the hold.  In the vicinity of the hold bottom are situated gas conductors with spargers through which the natural gas is pumped into the hold.  Adjacent to them are cold-water distributor pipes through which water is pumped into the hold for forming a gas hydrate and for removing the heat of formation.  The membrane is spaced from the interior wall of the hold so that a gap around and within the hold is formed.  This gap provides a path for the water and gas to travel upward to an exit conduit located near the top of the vessel.  From this conduit, the gas and water is recycled to form a hydrate.

Abstract: ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE     In the recycling of wastepaper, paper products containing significant quantities of bitumen are treated to remove the bitumen prior to manufacture of new cellulosic products from the recycled stock.          The process involves heating the reslushed wastepaper stock in the presence of a hydrophobic (plastic) material at a temperature greater than the softening point of the bitumen.  During the heating, the system is agitated and a surface active agent is optionally added.  The hydrophobic material takes up the bitumen and is separated from the wastepaper stock.

Abstract: Abstract of the Disclosure A beamformer forms a beam from a set of samples of signals from an array of elements such as sonar transducers. Sequences of signal samples from each transducer are delayed relative of each other by fractional amounts of the intersample interval.  The sequences of the signal samples with the pre-determined delays therebetween are applied to a common beam-forming filter having a pass band of sufficient width to accommodate the signals.  The impulse response time of the filter is longer than the intersample interval in any one of the sample sequences for providing a beam equal to the sum of regenerated transducer signals.  The radiation pattern of the beam is independent of the sampling rate.
